Subject: compiling under minix?

Has anyone done this? When trying to compile Linux under Minix
I get a missing "divi.." or something on link. I assume these
to be soft floating point routines.

Why? I have a problem with the harddisk driver under Linux
being to fast. I had the same problem with minix, but being smaller
and slower, I was able to do enough compiling to put a delay in the
read function of wini.c. Linux uses GCC, which use causes so much
disk reading to happen, that compiling is out of the question.
